The highlights of the museum are the alter and artifacts from an 1880s Chinese Temple. Other exhibits in the small museum cover early Chico history and the role of local citizens and soldiers in WWI.
The accessible entrance is on the left side of the museum adjacent to the public parking lot. Follow the instructions for operating the lift. Someone will meet when you exit the lift to escort you to the front desk.
After seeing the museum walk/roll one block east on 2nd Street then two block south to Bird in Hand, a really great toy and game store, to check out the Yo-Yo Museum and the World’s Largest Yo-Yo. The museum is in the rear of the store and consists of a collection of hundreds of yo-yos and a bit of yo-yo history.
The Chico Museum parking lot is too small for RVs but parking is available on the streets. We parked a few blocks south on Salem Street. The sidewalks and curb cuts are in good condition.

A Yo-yo museum in Chico? I have to remember that!
ReplyDeleteBest toy store I've seen in a long time. I was wishing it was closer to Christmas so we could buy toys. No room in the RV to carry stuff around for months!
